       | So much of my early programming education was just wandering
       | around the Tcler's wiki and messing around with the amazing
       | random toy projects they came up with.
       | 
       | And then dipping down into the C code for Tcl was always really
       | cool - the Tcl C style has always really impressed me. And it
       | seems like that style was carried on in related projects like
       | SQLite.

         | 
         | Also agree largely on "Tcl C style" - historically well
         | ordered, coherent codebase.
